CRITICAL MASS: Big Love is not a big deal

There is a temptation for me to make too much of Big Love, HBO’s series about a polygamist family living just under the radar in Utah. I don’t watch much television (more precisely, I don’t watch much programming that is made specifically for television), and my attachment to Big Love probably has as much to do with its time slot (8 p.m. Sunday) as it does with the show’s content.
